Took a few photos of the One Eyed Jack before packaging. Thought some of you might enjoy seeing them. Jack Belk did the mealwork on a 1909 Argentine Mauser. There is one of Jim Wisners straddle floor plate on the bottom metal. Caliber is 7X57. The last 2 groups it shot had 3 shots into .9". No special loads, just something I had loaded up.

Hey Chic, You mind shooting a close up of those custom bases before you send it off? Those really caught my eye while everything was still in white.



Thanks,

Terry

Chic

A nice rifle for present and future generations to treasure. What kind of grip cap is that?

DB Bill,
Waste???? lol, I am working on 3 shotguns right now but not at the stocking stage yet. I have an english blank that is similar in feathered crotch in a rifle blank but all it take to make it a 2 piece is a saw. That is the nice about rifle blanks, it is easier to keep them together.

Here is a teaser for you. Jeffeoso had gas pains over it. It is spoken for, makes it even more desirable.
